Abstract
A method of communication in a Bluetooth Low Energy network is presented. The network has a master device and a plurality of slave devices between a first slave device and a second slave device. The method steps include: sending from the master device to the first slave device a synchronisation delay parameter; and sending from the master device to the second slave device the synchronisation delay parameter and a relative offset parameter. At the second slave device, the method steps include determining a synchronisation time point by adding the relative offset parameter to the synchronisation delay parameter. At the synchronisation time point, the method steps include waking the first and second slave devices and sending a communication from the first slave device to the second slave device.
